1. Introduction
This is the fifth week of the RSTL and things seem to be evening out. It is very nice seeing how strong the league is. I am, however, tired of all the three-ways lol. We also have some new writers in the league this week and the return of another writer. There was only one no show this week which was nice. Let’s give a recap of the past weeks matches.
2. Recap
I don’t feel like doing one this week. Katy Perry has some big titties though.

I loved my wife, son and daughter...revenge is comin for the home invasion that had become a slaughter..
My soul telling me no, like I'm in third person...but I blocked it out to the birds chirping...

*flashback*

My children were raining tears, the crew came in fierce with stainless gear...
They heard us praying here, so they sprayed and cleared the room like we were game or deer straying near...
I made it, but my soul died instead...my mind is dead, their alive but death is comin like a fly inside a spider web...

*shakes images off*

These assholes are flirtin with danger, I jumped in my mercury saber with no remorse for these strangers...
My heart bursting with anger...in my house I found a wallet, with an address inside...
How blessed am I? Ha, the first man confessed his guys were seconds by...
He stretched his lies, I let the large caliber weapon fly in his chest and eyes till he stressed and cried and was flesh deprived...
I won't let the rest survive...

*sets the house on fire, leaves the scene towards the house the first killer sent him too...he heard they were living together*

I slapped a fresh clip in weapon, now don't get a miss-conception...
I don't like to kill, but right now its a blessin...
I ran to the front door, and kicked till it dis-connected...they hit the deck, I fired till the bullets stripped his neck of bits of flesh...
I caught two threw my hip and chest...that wasn't suppose to happen, I musta missed a step...

*bleeding badly, he limps back to his car...pulls out of the driveway..as cops speed up behind him*

"Pull over...."

Fuck you, I have no reason to stop...I need this bleeding to clot....
I turned the corner quick as I was speeding the block..
Ive just committed my worse fears...I pressed down the clutch and slapped the shift into third gear...
The cops are in hot pursuit, "babies, I got the guys that hurt you..."
We were Jus a regular church group...

*not realizing how badly he was shot, he starts to lose consciousness behind the wheel*

It's kinda late for the hospital, I started to cough and choke up blood like I got lost of hope caught in my throat...
I started to feel defeated and all as my heart became weak and beated to a crawl...
"Father, please forgive me, just let me go home"....as my eyes flickered closed, and the car rolled into a telephone poll...

*his soul leaves his body*

You can call me an avenger, an angel with broken wings...
I was waiting for heaven, but only hell had openings...

And there you stand hearing and watching my every move
Watching as I slaughter these men, watching what I do.
Your eyes hold true but worry and seem to shimmer.
But there is something else, something that seems to glimmer.
You don’t try to run, you do not flee
Instead you cry out and run to me.
Your arms wrap about me, in your fears.
The death around me, it brings you tears.
I feel their blood upon my hands.
You will die, you have no chance.
I will toy with you, like a mouse.
My souls on fire, it can’t be dosed.
I seek your life. I seek your death.
I seek your blood, your final breath.
My fangs have sharpened. My claws are long.
A desire to kill, the will is strong.
Many are helpless and many will die.
But you stand firm and seem to defy.
My very nature. my very goal.
My very self, my very soul.
Your touch is gentle and seems to sting.
That unruly monster that’s deep within me.
Your warmth is binding, I must break free.
I dig my claws into your flesh
the blood begins to stream, wet and fresh.
The scent is overwhelming and fuels my desire.
Fueling my hate and fueling the fire.
My lip begins to curl, revealing my fangs
I will feed on your blood, feed on your pain.
Your touch cannot save you nor can your voice
I can no longer feel you. I have no other choice.
The hate that I feel is clouding my eyes
It blinds me more than you’ll ever realize..
I seek your pain. I seek your will.
I’ll leave a mark I’ll leave a chill.
Still you are calm and seem to know
that the hate within me is beginning to grow.
Your embrace becomes stronger trying to fight
that burning desire that rages inside.

You pause a moment, your mind begins to race,
You’ve come to a solution and don’t hesitate.
As you lean toward me slow yet sure
your heart is beating fast but pure.
Your lips gently touch, firmly against mine
Trying to subdue, the demon that dwells inside.
My grip tightens, I will not give in
You can never calm my demon within.
No, I won’t allow you to, won’t fall into your trap
I will break from you, I will get myself back.
Yet you never budge; never pull away
your lips still against mine, as if to stay.
What is this, can this really be?
Could you really be trying to save me?
A flicker of hate flashes once more
for some reason, I can’t let go.
Your love is overpowering and seems so strong.
Your touch is comforting yet nothing seems wrong.
I can now let go, that horrible desire.
I can now kill the demon, destroy the fire.
Slowly my heart begins to regain
the precious purities that I had lost, destroying all my pain.
My fangs are dull once more, my claws return to size.
Then the darkness finally clears, from my open eyes.
Your eyes are shut, as you hold tight.
Never let go, you will win the fight.
I will always love you
Not matter what you do
For as you see,
That’s what you did for me.
I feel myself begin to drift.
Soon I release my awful grip.
Then on my mouth I taste your lips.
I let you hold me, let you free.
Let you go, to let you see.
What your love has done,
What all your fighting won.
My heart, once again is pure.
My soul, because of you, is cured.
Your eyes begin to open as we cease our kiss
yet you still hold me, making our love still exist.
Your eyes are worried and afraid.
Wondering, Have I really changed?
I cannot stop the tears that begin to rise.
As I gaze into those nervous eyes.
Suddenly I pull you into my arms
How could have I ever caused such harm?
Through all that pain all that hell.
You never stumbled, never fell.
From each other’s love, from each other’s heart.
Couldn’t we just stay, and never depart.
I seek your heart. I seek your touch.
I seek your voice. I seek your love.
I seek not being a slave by demons possession
I seek to be free cause your loves confession​

Payment due for youthful mayhem
I'm to blame but so what - I was five!
fun was a plastic bat taking smacks
at dragonflies that pulverized their eyes.

Besides, I already apologized.
I'm grown now.

WAKE UP
Pop and pivot heavy lidded
precise digit movements stops the alarm
before it wakes the Mrs. since it's
only proper her bright eyes are opened
to my voice and kisses.

How moist her lips is instincts insistant
growing hard to resist this sleeping princess.
Inspired how she makes me think quick, is the ink
I draft blueprints with - plans to try and avoid going in.

…Urge is foiled white towel thrown in knead that bread
this round Reason wins - beats back heat little head spread
Save for next time, passion bound keeps desires well fed
reluctantly dress say to myself, 'let's go get it Heff'

Sushi Chef not yet qualified
but you'd be surprised at what I accomplish
with some seasoned rice.

See them light up after they try a piece
After they swore they'd rather die, than eat raw fish.

This is something I never imagined when I began the job
that I could dispel ignorance while giving nourishment.
Now I'm awed at the implications.

It's like when my niece first tasted juice.
A delightful sensation permeating through the body.
And I'm partly responsible for this odyssey.

Watch me work see into the heart of me
As I carefully spread the rice over nori sheets (seaweed)
The warmth releases an aroma that's pungent sweet
a delicious smile creeps over my face
I can smell the flavors, sprinkle sesame seeds.
Next step flip it over, this is an inside out style California roll.

Hands hold the mat, the space left becomes
the pocket, lift it over the contents, thumbs keep constant
hold while they rub the back slow, fingers in the front tuck
pack the middle tight, this is when its determined if
the sushi's all right. A finger keeps it steady
other hand pinches the edges of the mat gently pulls it forward
till the ends of the rice connect, give it a final press.
Under my breath praise the Lord.

Pull the mat away Hurray!!
Hear vigorous claps parents laugh
and a child asks me if I could do it again.

Life has become cold but still complicated
As a fire burns to will the ones we hated
My happiness sedated, searching for warmth elsewhere
Rich in materials that I attained from the wealth’s heir
Suffocating while breathing in Hell’s air
I was once protected but now I feel my shells tear
Why did I give in to emotion and leave?
All I wanted was some time to grieve
Begging him please, while he just laughs as I plead
Exposing my heart but it’s too frigid to bleed
Perhaps that is what makes me weak
Bound by emotions despite my strong desire to speak
Still, we were married for several years
With an unbreakable love that was envious to our peers
I would wait every evening for him to arrive
With dinner on the table and a gleam in my eyes
I wore that beautiful white dress just to please him
It was his favorite but he ignored me with no reason
A paralyzing chill shot through me as my eyes fell to the floor
No kiss, no hug, not even a simple “hi”, just a slam of a door
“What did I do wrong?” I thought as I cleaned off the dishes
“I cooked and cleaned and fulfilled every one of his wishes”
I started to lose balance as my eyes flow like a faucet
Wondering if he was cheating or if my beauty had lose it
Each day became worse as I tried harder to earn his attention
Each time ending in disappointment as I sit alone in detention
I became frustrated as I finally worked up the courage to ask
I wondered if he would be sorry or if he would just bask
“Are you cheating?” I sobbed as he stared at the TV
“Yes.” He sharply replied without even turning to me
He said we grew apart, me and him would never be happy
I screamed at him as he turned around to slap me
I fell to the ground, blood stained the carpet
Standing over me with disgust, eyes of a harlot
He walked away as I stubble to my feet
Face swollen, anger at its peak
I began to clean up the bruises on my face
Applying makeup while packing my suitcase
I get to the front door and drop my bags
I walk into his room with a bat and rags
He didn’t notice me as I raise the bat to the sky
It only took one hit for him to open his eye
As I repeated the attack, smashing in his cranium
Ribs cracked and bruised from my steel titanium
His flesh black and blue as I left the house
I didn’t know if he was still alive
But I didn’t care, I was prepared for the police to arrive
Sitting against a tree, I close my eyes in freedom
Not bothered by sin but reluctant to know how God sees them
The snow felt refreshing as I close my eyes to think
Nature stood still, not a soul would blink
I couldn’t help but smile as I catch a snowflake
Realizing that this peace now slows hates

No cliché’ is older...’Good and evil arguin’ on opposite shoulders’A folklore told since hominids roamed earth...

[Me: In White..Evil: In Red]

I need an Exorcist with holy water…A preacher who saves souls!
An inner evil has killed off all my guardian angels!
A slow split……athough it's painful!
It feels like Kane, ponderin’ on slaughterin’ Abel!
…and, I’ve had it marked in my date-book for eight darkening days, soooo!…

"No I won’t let you take full control of my soul ‘n mind!"
Although, the fight for my humanity has been a slow decline

(The demon flinched within)

I began to yell, "Asshole!!!", but only mouthed silent ‘squawks’!
I lost my dialogue…it just stopped before 'I talked!'
By the time I saw what looked like a black-hole, I was caught...
…then vacuumed behind my own bodies’ mind and thoughts![FONT=&quot] [/FONT]

(My consciousness was sucked into some abyss)

It was like the bottomless pit the prince of darkness was dropped in!
It was so quiet…I felt impossibly boxed in…
I started wanderin’, lost, hollerin’, "A’MEN!"…
Then I heard a voice from the hostile that was robbin’ my conscious!

“You’re just an evicted occupant in my apartment…squattin’!”“Your just a carcass that’s got skin!... just a car, with options!“It’s the “Tree of Life”…Ah, Shit…{Shrugs shoulders}“Even “bad apples” that fall onto the “Garden”, get rotten!…”

As i fought the evilly fiendish, deeply subconscious demon!
I saw a cosmologically divine light from God, and reached it!

The thing began barfin’ so much; no way my throat was shuttin’!
But then I noticed somethin’!...
…The throwin’ up gave me partial motor function
It was the only opportunity since I let it enter me
I focused towards the inner being, with all my energy

Until eventually… the transformation was rendered incomplete
I was back…no longer in a deep imprisonment

“You can be disobedient, but defeat is imminent!”

"YOU’LL NEVER TAKE AWAY MY PHYSIQUE, OR SKIN YA PRICK!"
But the thief was insistent to attempt persistently to live again!
I felt forsaken with all these prayers of mine, unheeded
Like when God loses all his faith for humankind, like Legion!
I was screamin’…”I’LL NEVER LET YOU TAKE MY LIFE, DEMON!"I ORDER YOU TO LEAVE IN THE NAME OF CHRIST, JESUS!"

”Awww…for me?...I’m speechless!...what you said was "hella" sweet!”…but that usually just works in horror movies from the seventies…”“The truth about the Devil’s bleak…Was once presumed as ‘Heavenly’.””But shit, all the demons rulin’ Hell used to be angelic beings!”

(I grabbed up the wooden cross I had beside me, and held it tight to my face; the light russet color of the cross faded to a darkening auburn as tears soaked into the wooden idol.)

”Allegedly entombed, but exhumed from my sarcophagus!” “You should stop usin’ that stupid cross for confidence!”“To go against me is preposterous, probably monotonous!”“Approximate odds are zip ‘cause I’m just dominantly monstrous!”“Hence ‘demonic’-I’m positively Godless and nastier than feral wolves!”… “Don’t be scared of the inferno; All inhabitants are skeletal” “Hell is full of ‘flarin’ folks without a tad of hair, just skulls!”

I began to preach like clericals recitin’ passages and parables!

I spoke the holy gospels, over and over, while growin’ pale and wary

I repeated three ‘Fore Fathers’, paired with three ‘Hail Mary’s’
While inhaling, my breathing became impaired, like an ‘ailed’ wheeze

“HAHA..You’ve failed…I’m un-jailed, freed!.."Now just whiff the smell of defeat and bail, please!"

8. RM Newspaper Article -
8a. Rumors – A new crew was formed this week called “ABC”. This group appears to be attempting to take over RM as the best crew. This group seems to be trying to establish their dominance by holding the RSTL title the longest. Now I, for one, will not stand for this. As a member of the FLF, I must put an end to this and show this new crew that they are simply child’s play. Currently, the match up is a little uneven. 3 members of ABC and 2 members of FLF in the RSTL. I do not remember if NG is part of FLF. If he is, this it will be more even. Still, T.a.C. and myself will represent FLF and defeat these new guys. Also, it is discovered that ABC is gay. Stay tuned for more on this.

8b. Sports – Week 3 of the NFL was rather interesting. We saw a lot of upsets and I ended up with a 10-6 record (19-13 for season) here are this weeks picks

NYJ over Buf
Cin over Cle
Bal over Pit
Den over Ten
Atl over SF
NO over Car
Sea over Stl
Ind over Jac
Hou over Oak
Phi over Was
SD over Ari
Chi over NYG
NE over Mia

9. Conclusion – Thank you to everyone who showed up this week to their match ups. I would like to stress again that it is nice seeing the amount of improvement from each and every member of the league. Now, I would like to see voting get a little bit better with each voter dropping at least 2 lines worth of feedback. This will help the writer improve so much more. Also, I would like to stress the importance of voting on the Championship matches. This will help prevent ties and potential 3 ways. Thank you everyone for reading and good luck on your matches this week.

Once Again Shadow Great Job. I Know This Is Very Time Consuming. If You Ever Need Help Let Me Know. I Have Nothin' To Do At Work Most The Time Bsides Monitoring Calls.
